Hey everyone I'm back! :D Sorry that it took so long, I had a lot of schoolwork/tests so I could only write a little every day, and since I wanted longer chapters, that means longer updates, maybe about a chapter every 2~3 weeks. I'm so sorry but I might get a few chapters done during Spring Break so we can have shorter updates :) Oh and just so you guys know, the story is all POV chapters, you can tell which character's POV is by looking at the first title, the second title is the chapter's title. Thank you so much for reading my story :) Disclaimer: I don't own any ROTG and Tangled characters, but I own the story :)
+It takes hours to write a story, and seconds to comment+
Chapter 1:
Jack Frost
+ Girl with the Golden Hair +
"...and they lived happily ever after."
I put the book back in the empty pink shelf. Hearing Sophie yawning behind me, I know that she must have been really tired today, she's been non-stop yawning since I got here.
"Another?" Sophie says tiredly behind me.
I put the book down and turned around. "Are you sure? You look really tired."
Sophie got out of her bed and onto the floor which is filled with all her other bed-time storybooks. I better clean that up after so that she won't get into trouble for making such a big mess. She bent down and picked up a book, "please?"
"Okay fine, last one?" I can never say no to her, especially when it comes to bed-time stories. Despite her age, she's one of those rare kids that can still see me after the age of 13. Except for Jaimie and his friends of course. I don't think they'll ever stop believing.
I bend over to get her book, but before I could reach it, an unexpected wind came pouring into the room. Sophie ran over to the window, her eyes suddenly full of energy.
"Look!" She says, pointing into the dark sky with a beautiful ribbon of light running across.
"The aurora borealis," I say as I step out of the window, "something's wrong."
Sophie hands me my staff, and I held it high above my head. "To North!" I yell.
"Say hi to Bunny for me!" Sophie says as the wind carries me into the sky.
XOXOXO
It's been a while since I was at the North Pole. Seven years actually. After we got back from Burgress, we guardians just went our separate ways. I mean sure that I would still try to mess with Bunny from time to time, and visit Sandy during his midnight shift, and occasionally bump into Baby Tooth once in a while. But still, I miss these guys, and the adventure we shared.
"Hey it's Jack Frost!" North says and squeezes me in one of his hugs. His Russian accent still amuses me after all these years.
We walk across the crowded hallway, filled with those little elves with golden bells dangling and ringing as they walk along with those big, fluffy yetis.
I still remember the morning after Jaimie woke up the day after I became a guardian. He was all jumping around with Sophie while screaming "A yeti singed my book Sophie!" He then flipped his book to the "Big Foot" page, a big PHIL along with a heart was on the corner of the page. Of course that was like 7 years ago, but the book is still tucked safely under Jaimie's pillow.
"What's wrong North?" I ask as we head towards the Globe Room, "what did he do this time?"
North hesitated a little. "I don't know," he says, "but it's something awful."
By the time we reach the room, the other guardians have arrive, except for Tooth, who might be late due to work. So apparently, we all have the same question. But then again, maybe not.
"North, you know that Spring is coming right?" Bunnymund says while painting another egg, "which means that I have to prepare for Easter, which is like 3 weeks away."
"It's okay Bunny," North exclaims, "besides it's 3 weeks, how hard can it be?"
"Oh yeah? Well I still need to collect the eggs for the hunt. You know how hard it is to collect them?"
"Try chocolate eggs then, they're easier to paint."
"Who paints chocolate eggs?" Bunny says. Sandy shrugs behind North. "See? Sandy agrees."
"But egg is still egg, so why not make it good?" North says, grabbing the egg from Bunny, "besides, children love chocolate."
"Well why don't you give out chocolate toys for Christmas then?"
"Because the children love the toys." North tosses Bunny his egg.
"Well the children love my egg-hunts!" Bunny points North with his paintbrush, "no matter what kind of egg it is!"
While I'm just sitting down on the table when the others tries to argue with one another, Tooth flies in.
"Hey guys sorry that I'm late... Whoa!" Tooth starts hovering on top of the others, trying to untangle the situation.
As much as the scene amuses me, we still need to get down to business. So finally I raise my staff and pound it against the floor. Cool, strong breezes fill the room, blowing the elves away. Despite the mess it created, it stopped the argument.
"Umm guys aren't we forgetting something?" I say, my staff pointing at the globe.
"Oh right!" North says, slightly embarrassed. "My fellow guardians, I call you here today for a reason..."
"Yeah we know! The children are in danger." Bunny says while he continues to paint his egg.
North shot him a look. "I'm afraid not. This time, the world is in danger."
"What do you mean?" Tooth asks.
"Yeah," I add, "what do mean the world?"
North turns to the globe, the lights shining brighter than ever. "Pitch is back."
"Whoa there, slow down." Bunny says. "This isn't one of those I-can-feel-it-in-my-belly kind of talk right?"
North pats his belly, "nope, not this time."
Tooth starts buzzing around, "He's back? What did he do this time?"
"I'm not sure, but Manny says it's awful." North puts his hands on the counter, looking at the lights.
Then the moon starts to shimmer and shine, and a ray of moonlight appears upon us. It glides onto the Guardians' circle, and we gathered around it. A beautiful crystal came out and the moonlight spreads across the whole room.
"Whoa!" I say, looking towards North, "what this?"
North's eyes are now bigger than before, "a new guardian," he says to himself.
Bunny flinches, "wait, a new guardian?"
"Apparently Manny thinks we need help." North answers.
"Ooh, who do you think it is this time?" Tooth flies around, her tone filled with excitement.
Sandy smiles, his sand shifting into a flower above his head.
"Mother Nature?" Tooth wonders.
"As long as it's not the Groundhog." Bunny says.
The crystal then shifts into a figure. A girl.
Tooth squealed with delight. "Oh my gosh finally! It's a girl!"
"Whoa whoa whoa," Bunny stammers, "who is this?"
The girl has beautiful long hair. Really long actually. She has a frying pan on her hand, and she's wearing a dress.
"Rapunzel." North says.
"Wait. Princess Rapunzel." Tooth says. "The Princess Rapunzel?"
"Well that explains the hair." Bunny says while pointing at the figure with his paintbrush. "But why?"
Sandy shrugs, his sand forms into a question mark.
"Well, that's the fun of it right?" I say, "it's a mystery."
I turn towards the moon. "Whatever it is, I know it's important."
"Um guys?" Tooth exclaims.
The crystal starts shifting once again. This time it shifts into the same girl, but different. She has short hair, wearing a hoodie and a skirt.
"Oh no." North says. His face turning pale.
"What!" Tooth says, who's starting to panic.
"Two forms of the same girl." Bunny explains. "Which means that she..."
"What?" I ask.
"Which means that she's not a spirit." North finishes.
Tooth tries to calm herself. "Yet?"
"Maybe." Bunny replies.
The moonlight then shines on my picture on the floor. I remember when they added that. I was so happy that day. I finally had friends, I finally had a family.
The light shines on my picture, my little persona glows with delight.
"Um,what's that?"
"Well that's odd..." North says. He signals Phil to get his Book of Guardians and starts reading it. "It looks like Man in Moon wants you to go alone this time."
"Wait, hold on. What do you mean alone?"
"For some reason, Man in Moon chose you to do this by yourself." North explains.
Bunny chuckles. "Well, with her of course."
I am genuinely in shock. "So I'm on my own then?"
"No." North says, his voice steady. "It is our job to protect the children, and so it is our job to assist you on you mission."
"Oh no." Bunny says. He shoves his egg to the side where Phil's just standing there. "What do you mean assist?"
North turns to Bunny. "We will help Jack on his mission here, at the North Pole. To see if there's anything that we need to keep an eye on."
Bunny hesitates. "Okay." He says with a sigh, "I'm in." He then turn towards me. "Well?"
I scratch my head a little. "Sophie says Hi."
And that's the first chapter everyone :D Thank you so much for reading this. I promise that I'll try to upload my chapters a lot faster. It's just that I have a lot of schoolwork lately and I hope that I'll have less in the future. I can tell you that the guardians will still be in most of this story, but maybe not as much. So sorry if you want some guardians kick-butt action. :( Anyways, stay tuned for Chapter 2 :)
